Arika - Fake Cards

[MiNuN*]

Hi! No I'm not posting the cards I posted before thats just old. I made new ones maybe just 2 but anyway.. -_-

[Kairyu]

Is that Megaman card supposed to be playable? I'm sorry, but the wording for the power doesn't make any sense at all and why 95 HP? There aren't any attacks in the card game that can attack in multiples of 5 >_0. Only in multiples of 10.
The layout is alright, but you can do better. keep looking through real cards and try again =). I hope to see more from you.

[MiNuN*]

Yeah that not supposed to be playable :P lol Hmm maybe I should remake it better, no I should test paint shop pro 5 by drawing my own pikachu XD

[Shinin]

The shellder one is cool XD

the megaman one is cool, but it should be 100 or 90 HP instead of 95.

[MiNuN*]

Hmm ok! Does this look any better you guys?

[Shinin]

Yeah that ones better than the other one.

[MiNuN*]

I've done the 2 types of Megamans! ^_^;
And I have to do the last ones later, but I'll continue on the one I'm on now.
Here are;
Fire and Water
Next will be electric and the normal one (yes I'm doing the normal one last XD)
Fire = power
Water = HP maintaining
Electric = status disordering
normal = neutral
;)

[FauxCivility]

I like the cards a lot. you did a great job on them ^^

[MiNuN*]

thanks PokéJungle! ^_^;
Heres the electric one I attempted it to finish before my dad came home but hes back and I jsut finished! :D

[FauxCivility]

Does megaman really have all those types?

[theultraradical]

What about Wood, Hub, and maybe another one that I forgot?

Btw, they're fairly good. But I must ask..what's with all the Resistances?

[FauxCivility]

I would like to see a wood one ^^

I think my favorite so far is the electric or fire ones

[MiNuN*]

Yeah theres a wood one but its not wood style its just a wood armor lol
And yeah megaman can have those types when you get them theres also speedstyle but I dono what the heck it looks like so yeah. Megaman with a type always has a resistence but the neutral one doesnt.. (it also doesnt have a weakness) Soo yeah. ^_^;

[theultraradical]

Dude, there is a Wood Style in MMBN2.

[Scyther5]

Wow, these are awsome. Btw where did you get the layout for the cards.

[FauxCivility]

You can get layout at Pokemon Zeo...

[MiNuN*]

Yeah its on the bottom of the card black it says pokemonzeo.com or something lol. ^_^
Thanks, btw
Wood Style eh? Hm.. maybe if I can get a picture of it.. ^_^;

[Kairyu]

Hey megaman cards, interesting idea but a bit too over-powered isn't it?

Ah well, at least you are getting better at making fake cards, keep it up alright?

[MiNuN*]

Thanks... I think i've improved too, just have to work on the words and getting the cards weaker.

[MiNuN*]

Bah, I double posted... first damed time :\ Dammit, feels pretty bad >_<, but anyway I made a ninja typhlosion... Kai's picture so I had that Pokébody again XD ^^;

[Sankari]

Oh, no! You cursed! Noooooooooooo!

[MiNuN*]

YAY! i finished my first Adobe Photoshop 7 Pokemon card! ^^;
If you can see my display name on MSn means that you already know I got Adobe photoshop yesterday but anyway, its great to be making some better cards..... right? Now i needa learn how to do this background stuff, then i can draw my own Pokemon which is even better!

[Kairyu]

Ah, good job with this one. And now that you're using a superior paint program I'll have to be more... strict in critiquing your cards.

I'll point out the top four biggest problems with your card:
- Its flat out broken, it can hurt the entire opponent's play field without even one drawback >__0. I think that needs to be greatly tweaked.
- Use a US adv blank, it looks a bit off using a japanese adv blank without with no japanese text, lol. I tend to use fangking's adv blanks since they are of good quality: http://projectservo.sifen7.com/fangblanks/fangadv/
just be sure not remove his name from the blank as he did create it.
- This is probably your biggest error. Text aligntment for well... everything is off. Look at a real card carefully. You can even take one of my more recent fake cards and use it to compare, it worked for me.
- Who did the Illustration? Sometimes, its the first thing a person sees when looking at a cool looking card. To me its a very important detail that should never be overlooked.

I mean no offense in your abilities, I'm just trying to help you get better is all. Overall though, its a average fake card, that I will admit. But I know you will do much better than that in the future, right? =) Well, keep up the good work!

[MiNuN*]

OH! NOW I KNOW NOW! (thanks btw) The text alignment.. OF COURSE! ^^
And nobody did the art, its te cover of the Pokemon 4ever case in japan.
not even god knows. so.. I know what to do now, thanks.

[MiNuN*]

Since Kai said my text alignment wasnt good, I tried looking at my cards and then I made a new card... I just drew a unown on Photoshop, it had to be quick so I just took a psychic adv blank and I started again. Everything on this card is made by me, except the card layout.
Well now I'am wondering if this text alignment is any better.

[Kairyu]

Hmm nice card, definitely one of the better fake cards I've since in this forum. But it is still full of errors:p.

Remember to use the "text box" tool to fill out your attack descriptions and also you will be able to place the text in left full justification, that's what I meant by "text alignment." Most people are at a loss at what I'm talking at this point, so don't sweat it XD.
Another big problem with the card is there are some white edges on the energy and symbols. Use pokemonzeo's energy/symbol sheet in PSD format. Its much cleaner using that =).

The last BIG error is that you are using the wrong type of adv blank, that's the japanese version. Use, the english version, the one with yellow borders. You can find a good set at: http://projectservo.sifen7.com/fangblanks/fangadv/

The rest are small, unoticable errors I wouldn't worry over just yet, at least not until you eliminate the errors I mentioned already. Well good luck and keep it up, you are getting better at it!

[Shinin]

good cards! but the retreat costs are a little blurry (they have some white on the edges)

[Intuition]

I realy like ur Celebi.. You're good! ;)

[MiNuN*]

Yeah, i think i got all the errors right now, I havent been on PC for a long time so I didn't read your post until today, Kai. And yaeh I will start using the "Yellow Border" cards. Should I remake the Aegis Gundam before I post it?

[Kairyu]

Well, you don't have to if its too much of a hassle. I'm just saying that for future reference.

[MiNuN*]

Oh well, I just finished another fake; Strike Gundam.
I'm going to another version of it though. The japanese-type version(no,not in japanese.)
and for the Aegis Gundam, your the only one thats going to see it Kai, I'm not going to post the one I made before, I'm making another one.

[FauxCivility]

I like it ^^

Keep up the great cards!

[MiNuN*]

I need Kai to rate this one, its one of my best one? But people can say if its good or not anyway..

[Jirachi]

*cough* *cough* Can't... see... the pictures before... the Gundam ones...
*cough* What happened...

[MiNuN*]

Eh? What?
bleh.. nevermind
I made a Pikachu... Because i was bored

[Kari Kagome & Mewtwo]

I was always curious as to the text sizes. I know both poke name and the attack names are supposed to be Humanist/GillSans condensed bold size 23. I hear reducing the width to 91% makes it look more realistic, which i'll admit it works. Only with Pokepower/body effect text or attack effect text, reducing to 91% doesnt really make it look perfect. Yet leaving it the way it is isnt any better.

[MiNuN*]

What program are you talking about because I don't use any of those stuff.

[The Vince Knight]

Nice Pikachu. Your cards are good. I like your style too XD.

DRAGON_MASTER SIGNING OFF!

[MiNuN*]

Okay, Thanks I finished Articuno.

[FauxCivility]

So, thinking of working for Nintendo in the Pokemon TCG department? You should honestly consider it. It would be pretty fun too ^^

Night Dragon_Master

[MiNuN*]

Now, I have finished my custom layout, and made Ultima Weapon as a card.
http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v292/MetalArch/Ultima_Weapon.jpg

[FauxCivility]

Very awesome!

Not exactly a PokeCard format...but...hey!

[MiNuN*]

Yeah thats what i thought also. XD ...But I think its okay.

[FauxCivility]

OH...it looks awesome! definetly more than OK!

[MiNuN*]

Well we can't assure that until Kairyu posts *asks him*

[Kairyu]

Ooo a custom blank,
not bad for a first try.. that was your first crack at making a blank right? XD

Still, I guess I'll throw in some constructive criticism.

You left much room for artwork, almost too much room, that's a huge plus for a card. But, of course there's one large drawback to that. Your blank left very little room for the effect/attacks for the card =/. But that can be easily remedied, just make more room :P.
The Weakness/Resistance/Retreat font is way too.. umm how should I put this... plain. It needs some spice, use some creativity, I'm sure you can figure that out. At least its easy to read =).

Hmm, not much else to report about your creation, I like it though. You should do more!

[FauxCivility]

Sounded pretty good =)


I would like to see more of your cards

[Rayquanza619]

Dude sweet card you did great on them I liked the megaman ones and celebi was pretty cool.
